Corona del Mar sunset
The sunset was pink. The color dipped into the gradients of the clouds and spread across layers of atmosphere, like icing on a child’s birthday cake. But the camera phone did not translate it so. It captured a thin line of singular light. The phone saw it differently from I. And any attempts to color correct or replace, simply widened the misinterpretation of beauty. To record such a moment was taking a trinket from a great fanfare or parade. For what kind of optics can capture reality in the true wide screen of awe and respect. Carrot juice has become my new Venti Latte. It is really strange. I thought I would be hooked on lattes for the rest of my life. Going back and forth from tea to the dairy side of the spectrum. But I drank some carrot juice a month ago and actually felt different. I think my body craves something in the juice.
The main thing that was turning me off about lattes was the feeling it left on my teeth. I was feeling like I was obsessive about how often I was brushing my teeth. And I did experience the caffeine withdrawal headache a couple times and drank a latte. But I haven’t had one for over a week. And the last headache wasn’t even that bad. But this carrot juice is great, it tastes so smooth and it is technically cheaper than a latte. So I’m going to stick with this and continue to drink green teas on the side.
A great deal of energy I usually use for writing has been diverted into creating new music. I am going to the studio on Wednesday to record a new song, and I’m extremely excited about that. Going to the studio is always an energizing time, and when I have something prepared the time just flies.
